Usually my characters, though young, tend to be street-wise.
Rachel Cohn
Image
Bruises mapped my body from bumping into tables and tripping over curbs while walking with a book in my hand, my eyes focused on the pages instead of the live space around me.

I love snow for the same reason I love Christmas: It brings people together while time stands still. Cozy couples lazily meandered the streets and children trudged sleds and chased snowballs.

I could become a nun even if I am a non-believer. I'll learn to fake it like Nick did with me. I will minister the gospel of compassion and kindness and please, always use a condom, from famine-stricken nations to war-torn dead zones. It's possible I might become a nun who kisses other nuns.

Things change all the time, mostly in little ways.
Rachel Cohn
Image
I particularly loved the adjective bookish, which I found other people used about as often as ramrod or chum or teetotaler.
Rachel Cohn
Image
I'm told there's no going back. So I'm choosing forward.
Rachel Cohn
Image
I'm liking that I can throw any kind of sentence at her without worrying it's too out there.
Rachel Cohn
Image
People are like that, judging you before they know you.
Rachel Cohn

So he's worth a second shot? The more apt question, my dear, is: are you?

The desert adapts. The people adapt. Live. Die. Struggle. Suffer. Create. The people in the real world beyond Demesne's ring are not all manufactured perfection. They deal.

It's the great male fantasy-all it takes is one dance to know that she's the one. All it takes is the sound of her song from the tower, or a look at her sleeping face. And right away you know-this is the girl in your head, sleeping or dancing or singing in front of you. Yes, girls want princes, but boys want their princesses just as much.
